My husband (Asian) and I (american) welcomed our first born 4 weeks ago
AMWF π€
I said fine then went and made some Mac N cheese. The reason I prepared this meal is because of how easy it is.
Every single time
My husband's mom looked at me and was appalled. I noticed something was wrong. She asked if I really found it "appropriate" to serve her and the family Mac N cheese. I asked why not and she went on a rant about how disrespectful this was and that I clearly have no experience in what is right and wrong when it comes to hosting. I said excuse me?
NTA. Why on earth would your husband not tell you?? Also, does he need a map to the kitchen? Also...traditionally family bring food TO the new mom, not the other way around.

Why are they all saying this when they don't know where the Husband's family is from? Is there one Asian monoculture or something?
Are they all really the same?

Yeah she ends up saying his family was 'Korean originally' so I guess her husband is first Gen American. Still I don't think Koreans are typically like that to new mothers. Lol.

Asian americans pride themselves on joining together as a monoculture which does nothing but drink bubble tea and make fun of their parents cultural quirks.

At face level it seems rude for OP's in-laws to just turn up. But then when you read into it:
I think we're only hearing one, quite selective, side of this story.

If I was coming over to my grandbabyβs house for the first time and the mother flexes her cooking prowess with powdered Mac and cheese from a box I would rightfully be concerned for the childβs future nutritional well-being.
